Upgrade opinions

I dont have the patience to look through a ton of outdated posts so I'll ask for your opinions on a few upgrades for my 07 ml63. I just got headers installed deleting cats and resonators.
1. Is eurocharged the current best tune.
2. Are underdrive pulleys garbage?
3. How about throttle body upgrades.
4. Would I benefit from higher flow injectors?
I'm a tinkerer but not a mechanic by far so constructive criticism only please.

Grab some ROW airboxes. Quick bang for about $350.

1. VR7 Tune https://www.vrpspeed.com/product/ec63tune/
2. Underdrive pulleys are not garbage, they do net horsepower, you just have to decide if that $/HP ratio is worth it to you, (PM me for a coupon code for this) https://www.vrpspeed.com/product/vrpm156c/
3. Throttlebody Upgrades are great, no tune required, increase in throttle response and low end torque.
4. If you decided to do flex fuel you would be required to get injectors.

As for row airboxes, no need to spend $350 Just grab these. https://www.vrpspeed.com/product/rowins/
